not present in males or non-vitellogenic females and which were presumed to encode
vitellogenin (VG). Three clones that hybridized to cDNA made to poly (A+) RNA from
vitelogenic females, but not to cDNA made to male RNA, were selected from a genomic
library. DNA from each clone hybridized to the 6500 nucleotide RNA species. Restriction
enzyme mapping suggests the clones represent three distinct genes. The two that have …
